Opmeer claims win on debut with Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN esports squad

Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN returned to winning ways as Jarno Opmeer crossed the line first in a thrilling F1 Esports Pro Exhibition race around the streets of Baku. The Dutchman won on his debut for the team, sending a strong signal about the team’s strength and depth ahead of this year’s F1 Esports Series.

In the Formula One Virtual GP, Thibaut Courtois was left flying the team’s colours after another game freeze forced Antonio Giovinazzi out of the race before the lights were even off.

Thibaut had a strong performance, covering from a start-line clash to battle with Pierre Gasly for large parts of the race. The Belgian goalkeeper eventually crossed the line in P12.
